The ten band members perform as a ‘charanga,’ one of the few in the United States, with an instrumentation that dates back to the roots of Cuban music. The sound combines violins, flute, vocals, and full Latin rhythm section. The beautiful blend of smooth strings and Caribbean beats inspires visions of Old Havana at sunset.Damian Rodriquez: VocalsFrank Rivery: VocalsDoug Little: FluteAja Majkrzak: ViolinAna Frómeta: ViolinKristi Petraborg: ViolaMariano Flores: TimbalesAndrew Gillespie: CongasJoe Strachan: PianoGraydon Peterson: BassFounded in 2006 by flutist and bandleader Doug Little, Charanga Tropical brings together Cuban and American musicians whose collective accomplishments include international tours, multiple CDs, major grant awards, Latin Grammy nominations, and more. Charanga Tropical has appeared at major festivals and venues throughout the Midwest. In 2019 the band backed up Grammy-winning Cuban singer Mayito Rivera. In 2015 Charanga Tropical became the only American group ever to perform at Havana’s International Danzón Festival. While on tour they played on national Cuban radio and at venues in and around Havana. Charanga also recorded in the same historic Havana studio that produced Buena Vista Social Club. The resulting CD ‘In Cuba’ captures the magic of that legendary studio space and landmark tour.“On a hot summer day no one else can make downtown Minneapolis feel so much like South Beach, Miami.” –Star TribuneCharangaTropical.comhttps://vimeo.com/682975174?fl=pl&fe=shhttps://vimeo.com/682969520?fl=pl&fe=sh - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/minneapolis/caribbean-nights-with-charanga-tropical/100001992952707196 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, festivals, dance, live-music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-09-05T23:15:00Z - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: The Belvedere at Crooners - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 32.23, max: 43.37, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Minneapolis - **state**: MN - **country**: United States - **location**: The Belvedere at Crooners - **lat**: 45.0791796 - **long**: -93.24293399999999 - **full address**: The Belvedere at Crooners, 6161 Highway 65 NE, Minneapolis, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Caribbean Nights with Charanga Tropical - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/56927e60839f7017d39093dfda23fb83ab02a605feade6b7084ee6e109262759-rimg-w1200-h600-dceeefec-gmir.jpg?v=1782949745 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Caribbean Nights with Charanga Tropical being held? - **A:** Caribbean Nights with Charanga Tropical takes place on Sat, 05 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Sat, 05 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm at The Belvedere at Crooners, 6161 Highway 65 NE, Minneapolis, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Caribbean Nights with Charanga Tropical? - **A:** Caribbean Nights with Charanga Tropical is organized by Crooners Supper Club. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Crooners Supper Club's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Crooners Supper Club a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
